The ability to sign in with your Facebook account, that's about it. DotNetNuke had a ton of features that weren't used, nor ever would be. So the overhead it wasted on resources (CPU speed, RAM) weren't worth it. I'm able to create a lot more features now without having to worry about the DNN framework.

I made a change with the shoutbox this year... put it on the front/home page not the forum page. Seems to keep people posting but the shoutbox is still there for those that want it.( just a little input)

Your changes are well thought out and it really speeds up performance which is a key on a forum.

When I click the name of a thread, it brings me to the first post. Can you make it so it takes me to the last post instead? Yes, I know there is a button all the way over on the right side of the forum that says 'take me to last post' but it's tiny and it's way over there. My instinct due to many years of forum use tells me to click the thread title. I do it every time, which always results in at least 1 more click to get to where I want to be.

Not a big deal, just figured I would mention it since you are open for suggestions.

edit: in other news I just google imaged suggestion box because I am really bored and found this:

When clicking a topic of a forum, it's always giving you the first post in that topic. phpBB, vBulletin, etc all behave that same way by design. The link on the right (link with topic name) generally brings you to the last post, for some reason, this software (YAF) has two icons (yes small) that accomplish that.

I prefer clicking the link on the right and going to the last post, but grew "used to" the little icons lol
